Abstract
A device for restraining an avian animal, or other small animals, so as to restrict the movements of its body, while leaving its head, legs, and its rear region exposed for various treatments. The restrainer comprises a substantially flat sheet of pliable material, to which are attached a plurality of fastener members, the fastener members having fastening surfaces adapted for releasable attachment to each other, in conjunction with a pliable strap having fastening surface adapted for releasable attachment to the corresponding fastener members on the restrainer. The sheet is folded into an approximate funnel or truncated cone shape with two openings, and retained in this shape by the engagement of the releasable fastener members. It is held above the head of an animal, with the larger opening facing downwards, and rapidly placed over it until its head protrudes out of the smaller opening, the strap is then placed around the bottom or the rear of the animal, and attached at both ends to the corresponding fastener members on the restrainer. The size as well as the shape of the present restrainer are adjustable to accommodate animals of different sizes.
